SportDOG Brand® Conservation Fund™ Grant Program

Call For Conservation Projects!
When it comes to conservation, we’re all in this together. To prove SportDOG Brand is as serious as you are about maintaining the health of the outdoors community, our Conservation Fund will award a $5,000 grant to each of four applicants who are undertaking or participating in a new conservation initiative. Successful applicants will use these grants to help fund projects dedicated to habitat enhancement and game conservation. It is through such projects that we help ensure sportsmen can continue to enjoy outdoor opportunities for generations to come.

Eligibility
The SportDOG Brand Conservation Fund supports projects and programs that strive to conserve and enhance wildlife populations and habitat enhancement initiatives.

Eligible applicants are not required to have advanced degrees, but funding is restricted to United States citizens. Applicants are required to provide all required conservation action information as it pertains to the proposed project as requested during the grant application process.

Grant Limits
Each of the four grants awarded in 2008 will be limited to $5000. These funds are designed to function as complementary support to an applicant’s other fund-raising efforts. The Fund strongly encourages applicants to seek additional funding from sources such as federal, state and local government, conservation organizations and others. Approved grant proposal applicants are notified by January 1, 2009 and grants are to be used during the 2009 calendar year.

Grant Restrictions
SportDOG Brand Conservation Fund grants may not be used for indirect costs, overhead or other expenses not directly related to the project. Fringe benefits are also excluded, as are salaries.
